Would you prefer we see you as someone with no meaning behind your words and actions?
Spoiler alert: I am one.
We obsess over things, overanalyze them, and drive ourselves and those around us crazy.
God & Man
However, I also argue that not all overthinking is bad.
There is an important distinction that needs to be made…
Sometimes overthinking is actually deep thinking.
We want to find meaning in everything.
But it also means we are paying attention.
We not only care about what you are saying, but who you are behind your words.
Would you prefer we see you as someone with no meaning behind your words and actions?
We cant just let things go.
This one really gets to me.
Usually that it is referring to a man or a relationship.
Well, we cant let them go because we want to understand them.
We dont see things as happenstance, bad luck, or coincidence.
We view our life and your life as part of a larger scheme.
There is a bigger game at play… and our relationships have a purpose.
So no, we wont let anything go until we fully understand that reason.
But is that such a bad thing?
To seek out the grander reasons in life?
To want to understand the things and people that matter to us on the deepest level possible?
We constantly analyze people.
Because people are fascinating.
Everyone has a story it is special and unique to them, yet universal at the same time.
If you look close enough at anyone, you’re free to find a connection point.
And in relating, there is comfort.
Sure, we hate small talk.
We dont care what shows youre watching or how you feel about the weather.
Sorry not sorry that we want to actually get to know you.
We want to know your dreams, your beliefs, your fears and your thoughts on life.
kindly explain to me how thats a bad thing.
Bottom line we arent over anything.We see the people and world around us as intricate and interesting.
So we think… we reflect… we analyze… a lot.
Some may say its too much and thats fine.
But we arent here to float through life not giving a shit about anything.
We are here to root out the reasons for our relationships and learn the lessons life throws at us.
Our days are full of mysteries to solve, connections to make, and thoughts to explore.
